2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Integrative Medicine
Anti-Aging & Longevity Center of Philadelphia
Bryn Mawr
“After seeing many doctors that never fully addressed my concerns, I finally feel heard by Dr. Bonney. The time she takes to actually talk to you and listen as opposed to oh just try this prescription was incredibly helpful. For the first time I feel like I am getting to the root of what has been causing me and my body distress and I feel confident that working with her will help me be my best self in all ways!”
– Ginny
2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Medical Spa
Avec Elle Beauty Bar
Newtown Square
“The staff at Avec Elle Beauty Bar is top notch. Their owner, Alexis, is. Rockstar & super woman who is so passionate about her craft and is great at it. She is a mother of 5 and a successful entrepreneur. I would not trust any other med spa!”
– Nicole J.
“Dr. Yang goes above and beyond to care for our 8 year old daughter’s teeth (expander and braces). She is so thorough and explains things in ways that we can understand. She is patient, and I can tell she is looking out for our best interest. Our daughter looks forward to seeing Dr. Yang and giving her updates on how she’s feeling. I recommend her 100%.”
– Charlene
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Jenn’s for almost 9 years. It started with her assistance for a v-bac via a specific chiropractic adjustment. Dr. Jenn is the BEST! She knows her patients, cares about them and we care about her. She listens and offers excellent solutions to our wellness needs. I cant say enough about Dr Jenn. I’ve moved to Charleston, SC and have yet to find a Dr here even close to her level of care. When I’m in town, I make sure to stop in for an adjustment. Thank you for considering Dr. Jenn Hartmann as the best chiropractor on the main line. If you’ve not been to her office yet, GO!”
– Susan D.
“The entire team at Experience Chiropractic helps you live pain-free so your life is better. They are great with all patients, but Dr. Brandie’s knowledge of how to treat pregnant and post-partum women is incredible. Doctor Eric is amazing with athletes – past and present. The office environment is super positive and inclusive. They are a huge asset to the community.”
– Michael A.
2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Mommy & Me Fitness
Fit4mom DELCO
Broomall
“Fit4MomDELCO is a wonderful organization that has filled a much needed gap in our community since its founding in the summer of 2024. Owners Colleen Catania and Heather Van Thuyne have done more than just make great workout classes, they’ve built a tremendous community of moms. Their workout classes allow moms to meet their fitness goals with or without kids in tow while also supporting the social-emotional needs of moms. The group is especially welcoming for newer moms who are just finding their footing in motherhood or who have not yet found their ‘village’. I have found the group to be incredibly welcoming. While I was not a first time mom when I joined, I was new to the main line and struggling to establish my supportive village of friends who can give a recommendation for which parks are best for 2 year olds, who are up to grab a coffee after a Stroller Strides class, or just chat about books and diaper creams during their Monday Walk and Talk sessions. This organization is such an asset to our community and I could more strongly recommend them.”
– A.R.
2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Pelvic Floor Therapy
Flourish Pelvic Health & Wellness
Fort Washington
“After the birth of my first child, my pelvic floor was so weak that I couldn’t sneeze much less jump without leaking. During and after my second pregnancy, I worked with a therapist at Flourish to help strengthen my pelvic floor. I am in a much better place physically now, and I still use the strategies I learned to keep my pelvic floor strong.”

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Neurodiverse Kids Fitness
Full Spectrum Fitness
Broomall
“My son has gone to Full Spectrum Fitness for about 5 years now and it has been such a wonderful experience. Pete Phillips and his team have become like family to us. Full Spectrum Fitness is everything you love and value about a small business including a personal touch where you feel valued and supported. Pete and his staff are always looking for new and innovative ways to help our family members with disabilities. My son has autism and never enjoyed exercise. Now he loves going every week! Pete’s expertise has helped my son with motor skills, coordination and physical fitness. We are so lucky to be able to attend this wonderful program and see its benefits in our son.”
– Linda T.
“From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in the hands of a team that genuinely cares about their clients’ well-being and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and valued. I came to Grace and Glow MD for botox and micro-needling treatments, hoping to address skin concerns like red spots. While these treatments were my main focus, I also shared my concern about early signs of aging, particularly the wrinkles around my eyebrows that have formed from subconsciously contracting them while concentrating. Although I’m still young, I knew this was something I wanted to address early on. The team at Grace and Glow MD was incredibly supportive, offering thoughtful suggestions and showing genuine concern for my well-being. They never made me feel rushed, and they took the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. […] Beyond my personal experience, Grace and Glow MD has made a tremendous impact on the community. Their welcoming and professional environment encourages people to take care of themselves and prioritize their health and wellness. I’ve seen the positive influence they’ve had, and I believe they truly deserve recognition for the incredible work they do.”

“Can’t say enough great things about Dr. Shah and his pediatric dental practice. They are so friendly and so thorough putting every patient at the center of their attention. They do beautiful work on kids mouths, and really take the time to address patient concerns. My 6 and 9 year old actually look forward to their dental visits as Dr. Shah and his staff make it such a fun and pleasant experience. Personal TV screens, squishmallows for hugging, and fun toys at the end…they really are the best!”
– Shelly B.
“Kat has a true passion for serving women and continuously tries to learn and apply the latest evidently to her exercise programming. She is a busy mom but still makes the time to form genuine connections and help other small businesses.”
– Victoria C.
2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Cancer Family Support
Kisses for Kyle Foundation
Willow Grove
“My daughter was diagnosed with Stage 3 Wilms Tumor in May of 2023. Watching her fight this disease has been, without a doubt, the most challenging journey of my life. However, as a silver lining, I have also witnessed incredible acts of kindness and support from our community and organizations like Kisses for Kyle Foundation. Kisses for Kyle provided assistance to my family through the worst time in our lives and continues to lift us up by offering joyful experiences and fostering relations with our new club, a club that no one ever wants to join: families affected by a childhood cancer diagnosis. I recently joined the staff at Kisses for Kyle after seeing their compassion and wanting to be a part of their mission to provide comprehensive support to children with cancer, their Super Sibs, and the rest of their families during and after treatment, just as my own family has been supported. Kisses for Kyle offers financial assistance to families that have had to leave their job to care for their sick child, lodging for families who must stay away from home while their child receives treatment, scholarships to deserving survivors, emotional support for every member of the family, and chances for families to get a break and have fun while navigating this horrible disease. I have personally been on the receiving end of so much that Kisses for Kyle offers, and I’ve seen the transformative impact these services can have. The smiles they bring, the relief they offer, and the hope they instill, ensuring that no family faces this journey alone, are priceless.”
– Sara M.
“I am writing to nominate Liu Dermatology for recognition of their outstanding commitment to providing exceptional dermatological care to underserved populations in our community. Their dedication to offering direct care dermatology has made an immeasurable impact on individuals who might otherwise face barriers to accessing specialized medical care. […] The practice is renowned not only for its clinical excellence but also for its compassion. Patients frequently share stories of how the Liu Dermatology team takes time to listen, educate, and provide individualized care plans – as evidenced by her 5 star Google reviews. From treating chronic skin conditions to addressing acute concerns, the staff has earned the trust and gratitude of countless individuals in our community for years to come! “

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Pediatric Physical Therapy
Loving Touch Pediatric Physical Therapy
Fort Washington
“Anna has been a breathe of fresh air for my family. I was looking for a DMI therapist in this area for a while now and was so thankful when we were connected with Anna. Her expertise and talent is unmatched. My daughter has made more progress with Anna this past year than having 2 years worth of PT with other therapists. Anna is so smart, hard working, and so knowledgeable. She figured out my daughter’s issues quickly and knew exactly what the problem was and how to solve it. […] Anna has built my daughter’s trust with her and slowly worked her way into exercises so my daughter wasn’t resistant. She is beyond caring and loving. She takes care of my daughter so sweetly and they have built such a special bond together. She makes videos with her son singing songs for my daughter to watch during sessions which my daughter loves and she will send her videos to stay connected. She goes above and beyond. My daughter has a twin sister and Anna always includes her sister in therapy. She always gets her a Christmas gift and birthday present too which is so sweet and makes my other daughter feel important also. Anna is our angel on earth and such a blessing in our life. I’m thankful for her every single day. There is truly no one more deserving for this than Anna. She is changing the course of my daughter’s future by giving her a chance to learn to walk.”
– Jenalyne D.
“Lauren takes a holistic approach to nutrition and health by working with each individual on a personal level to educate and recommend a sustainable approach that works for not only the patient, but their family as well. I was able to drop nearly 20 pounds of fat (based on her body composition scale) and put back a few pounds of muscle. I am still down a size in pants and look and feel so much better especially since she recommended fitness on top of diet recommendations for much better personal outcomes.”
– John G.
2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Menopause Coach
Maria Pavlov
Ardmore
“I can’t thank Maria enough for everything she’s done for me. She’s not just a fantastic fitness trainer—she truly understands the challenges of menopause and knows exactly how to help. From day one, I felt comfortable and cared for, like we were in this together. Before working with her, I struggled to find a routine that felt right for my changing body. Now, I’m more confident than ever, and that’s all because of her patience, understanding, and knowledge. She’s supportive, encouraging, and always ready to answer any question or concern I have. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely wants you to succeed—body, mind, and soul—look no further than Maria. I’m so grateful for the boost in confidence and well-being she’s given me.”
– Hannah P.
“Maria is completely dedicated to pushing me to my full potential. It has been very exciting to work with her for the past year, and it is amazing how much better I have gotten in both my fitness and my diet. What truly sets Maria apart is her absolute commitment and personalized approach. She doesn’t just focus on the physical aspects of training but also puts effort and focus in my overall well-being. Maria works to motivate and inspire, making every session enjoyable and productive. Beyond just helping me improve my confidence, she has built a relationship that feels supportive and genuinely caring. Maria’s dedication and passion make her an exceptional trainer, and I am truly fortunate to work with her.”

After each class, they offer a warm, nurturing cup of tea, which is always picked based on the traditions of Chinese medicine and the season.

There is nothing better and more comforting than knowing you are going to be treated well while at the same time experiencing amazing results. I would recommend them to anyone! Dr. Victoria is an amazing practitioner and an even better person!”

She has been coming to Dr. Jackie since she was two and has always been treated like a rockstar. My daughter LOVES going to see her and talks about her in between visits year round. I wish I would have had this experience when I was young. We love Groovy!!”

2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Fitness Program
KBO Fitness
Wayne
“Kristin Boquist is an exceptional performer, trainer, and group fitness instructor at Life Time Fitness in Wayne, PA. While she teaches a variety of classes, her signature format, Cardio Party, is truly something special. This high-energy dance fitness class seamlessly blends bodyweight exercises—including calisthenics and plyometrics—with diverse styles of dance and music. Kristin constantly refreshes her choreography with purpose: to keep the workout both physically challenging and mentally engaging. But while Cardio Party is an incredible format, the true heart of the experience is Kristin herself. She radiates positivity, enthusiasm, and an unwavering commitment to those who step into her class. Her energy is infectious, creating an atmosphere where people feel not only motivated but genuinely uplifted. Every class with Kristin is more than just a workout—it’s an experience that leaves you feeling stronger, happier, and more connected. Kristin goes beyond the studio, forming real connections with her participants. […] She not only inspires through fitness but also fosters a sense of community, empowerment, and joy. For these reasons and so many more, I wholeheartedly nominate Kristin Boquist for this well-deserved recognition.”

Light the Lamp Physical Therapy
King of Prussia
“Chrissy is a phenomenal provider. After working with her for only a short time, I knew I had met someone who approached her patients the same way I do- with compassion, caring and genuine interest in seeing each person get back to what they love.

She continues to help me grow as a provider and clinician.”

Chiropractor
McCormick Chiropractic Main Line
Berwyn
“I have had debilitating back pain for two weeks due to a pinched nerve and finally decided to see a chiropractor. I chose Shannan McCormick because she won last year’s Love Award. Despite my trepidation of seeing a chiropractor, it was a wonderful experience. The office was clean, modern and welcoming. She was very friendly and communicated everything very clearly. And after just one visit, my back is already feeling better. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment with a wonderful doctor! Thank you very much Dr. Shannan!”
– Andrew G.
“Dr. Parnes and Dr. Rubin have truly the most inviting, professional and community forward practice I’ve ever been to on the main line. Their offices are designed so beautiful with a huge ode to Philadelphia, from sports teams to local small businesses. Not only is their “vibe” outstanding and remarkable (amazing wallpaper everywhere including one of the first female dentist!) but their service and expertise is you can tell top notch. I was a 39 year old with behind the teeth braces and they were away at a conference learning more about the procedure and immediately brought their new findings to my treatment plan which resulted in a faster and better outcome. Truly incredible.”
– Ana W.
2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Play at Home Physical Therapy
At-home
“Stephanie at Play at Home PT has been nothing sort of amazing. She began working with us when our (premature) son was just a few weeks old and helped us tremendously. From stretching him out and helping him loosen, to tummy time, to sitting, she has helped us and taught us so much. I cannot recommend Play at Home PT enough!”
– Megan L.

Each time I leave her office, my stress levels are greatly reduced.
